The assassination of Abdul Rahman Milad, or as Libyans call him “Al-Bidja”, yesterday, Saturday, sparked controversy on social media platforms, especially since he had been a controversial figure in Libyan circles in recent years. Some consider him an honorable man of the nation, while others say he is one of the most dangerous human traffickers in his country to Europe.

Libyan websites were abuzz with news of the assassination of the commander of the Naval Academy camp by unknown gunmen in… Tripoli Abdul Rahman Milad, after being shot with live bullets in the capitalFor Libyan.

Activists said that the assassination of “Al-Bidja” is, to say the least, an act that received instructions from outside the country, especially since he stopped oil smuggling tankers and was the reason for the revival of the Academy of Maritime Studies and the graduation of batches from it after a long hiatus, so the price will certainly be high.

On the other hand, others wondered how “Al-Bidja” was considered a “hero” while he was filling the boats of illegal immigrants?

May God have mercy on him, he has done what he has done!
But a hero? How? With illegal immigration boats? With people dying at sea? Human trafficking?

One of them responded to this question by saying, “He was known for his heroism in defending the truth and fighting falsehood, especially in defending Tripoli and the western region at the time of the attack by Khalifa Haftar and his multinational mercenaries.”

We ask God Almighty for a good end.
A good ending, known for his heroism in defending the truth and fighting falsehood, especially in defending Tripoli and the western region during the attack of the war criminal Haftar and his multinational mercenaries. He did a good job.
May God have mercy on him and forgive him.

Bloggers considered that the matter has become clear, especially since many are against the establishment of the military institution and what the late Abdul Rahman Al-Bidja has been doing in the recent period in terms of efforts to advance the military institution, which made him a clear target for the trembling and cowards.

A blogger said that there are those who want armed clashes to break out in western Libya. Events are moving at a crazy speed towards the return of military confrontations between militias. The first attempts were the clashes that broke out in the Tajoura suburb east of the Libyan capital, which led to the death of 9 people.

Then came the crisis of the Central Bank, followed by the assassination of Al-Bidja, a militia leader accused of smuggling, according to one of them.

Some observers pointed out that the corner has many stories with mysterious beginnings and endings, and no one will know how, when, or why all this happened and is happening?! The killing of “Al-Bidja” will be included in the lists of mysterious killings that began years ago. And he will not be the last to enter these lists.

The President of the Supreme Council of State mourned Khaled Al-MashriOfficer Abdul Rahman Milad, via his official Facebook page, called on Al-Mishri, the Attorney General and the competent authorities to reveal those involved in the assassination and bring them to justice.

Several countries, including the United States and Britain, have accused Abdul Rahman Milad of leading a large human trafficking gang, especially since he is one of the leaders of the Libyan Coast Guard in Zawiya, which is one of the most important areas for migrants to depart for Europe.
